Just joined !womeninfreesoftware. Can we alias it to "wifs" or something?

@evan I just loooove !wifs
-
-
@pfctdayelise no, I can't. I had an opportunity for status.net come up that I can't pass up, so I'll be in SF this weekend instead of BsAs
-
-
@pietercolpaert because aggregating DNA data tells you a lot: who your father is - and isn't - as well as whether you are prone to diseases
-
@pfctdayelise I'm really not happy about it. I love Buenos Aires and I'm crazy about Wikimania. But yes, I'll be below the equator soon.
-
@pfctdayelise tell, tell, tell - reduce the word count in summary of proposal by 90%, maybe i might grasp than what you are proposing
-
@pfctdayelise try dent / tweet it
-
@evan I thought about shortening !womeninfreesoftware to wifs, but it sounds too much like wives which is not the right message.
-
@eximious fsf sounds too much like ffs! But we know what both mean.
-
-
@eximious maybe just shorten freesoftware ala !womeninfoss / !womeninfsw?
-
@eximious or maybe reverse it like !fosswomen !fswwomen
-
@eximious on second thought, reversing it doesnt sound too good
-
@cwebber I am personally a fan of !glofs aka "Glorious ladies of free software" but the wrestling ref. may not be "casting the widest net"
-
@eximious how about WiFOSS?
-
@eximious to me that sounds like the name of an amazing victorianesque superhero team. (which means I am all for it.)
-
Ha! I didn't notice wrote 'FOSS' to an FSF'r (@eximious) #irony is still such cheap medicine for what ails ya.
-
@dedalus then you might grasp what, but not why
-
@pfctdayelise I'm still puzzled on what OAuth might be good for
-
@dedalus so you could use something like watchlistr.com (...and beyond) without needing to give it your wikimedia password
-
@g0 Reminder added.
-
@eximious how about wfs for !womeninfreesoftware? It's so long now, takes up most of the message!
-
@evan I don't get why they can't just use wifs. Because people would associate it with wives? Seriously? Oh come on...
-
@pfctdayelise sorry for my ignorance, I've never heard of watchlistr until today, & it is closed now - what good would have been watchlistr?
-
@dedalus global watchlist service (combined watchlist from all wikimedia wikis)
-
@pfctdayelise wow! there is a proposal at strategy asking for global watchlist service, so again, a proposal for an existing feature!
-
@dedalus not quite, as watchlistr was shut down (although now you can do it manually by subscribing to dozens of feeds, I think)
-
@pfctdayelise gosh we do have categories to do tagging don't we? http://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Pfctdayelise/Proposals
-
@evan So people could use either !wfs or the full thing?
-
@eximious yes, go to http://identi.ca/group/womeninfreesoftware/edit and add the alias
-
@rabble actually, I'm not going this year. Have fun for me.
-
-
@evan and others, I've just added wfs as an alias for !womeninfreesoftware -- feel free to post under either.

@eximious great! I'll take this moment to point to the great geekfeminism.wikia.com in !wfs.

-
